Warmer weather ...

 

... and camps in Maine are working on their plans to welcome kids back as we continue to emerge out of the pandemic. Our friends at WCAI examine why it seems that right whales are getting smaller, and NPR has a story about how a black nonprofit ended up getting a substantial payment from someone who’s family were slave owners.

These are some of the stories in The 10 this week. Also check NPR’s guide to gender identity terms as we observe Pride month. I’ll be hitting the road this weekend, and NPR’s look at the Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers album 50 years later might inspire some driving music.

 

Rock On!
